Cub Run and Bull Run Watersheds
Location
The Cub Run and Bull Run watersheds (55.3 square miles and 9.7 square
miles, respectively) are located in the southwestern part of Fairfax
County bordering Loudoun and Prince William counties, upstream from
Little Rocky Run.
Major Streams and Tributaries
Cub Run: Major tributaries include Big Rocky Run, Cain Branch, Dead Run,
Elklick Run, Flatlick Branch and Round Lick Branch.
Bull Run: The major tributaries are Bull Run East and Bull Run West.
Unique Features
14 square miles of Loudoun County drains to these watersheds. While the
impacts of these areas will be evaluated, the watershed plan does extend
into Loudoun County. These watersheds drain into the Occoquan Reservoir,
which supplies drinking water for areas of Fairfax County and other local
jurisdictions.
